FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for long-distance hiking?
Yes, the CloudTec Phase™ and Helion™ midsole are specifically designed for enhanced comfort on long days, making them suitable for long-distance day hikes and multi-day trips with lighter packs.
How do the lugs on the Missiongrip™ outsole perform?
The larger lugs on the Missiongrip™ outsole are engineered to provide superior grip and stability on a variety of trail surfaces, including dirt, gravel, and moderate inclines.
Can I wear these shoes for trail running?
While they offer good cushioning and traction, they are primarily designed as hiking shoes. They can be suitable for lighter trail running on less technical terrain, but are optimized for hiking comfort and stability.
What is the difference between Cloudhorizon and Cloudhorizon 2?
The Cloudhorizon 2 features an updated CloudTec Phase™ for improved comfort and refined Missiongrip™ for enhanced traction compared to previous models.
How do I clean the mesh upper?
Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt. For tougher stains, use a damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap and water. Rinse lightly with clean water and allow to air dry completely.
What is the weight of the Cloudhorizon 2?
The ON Running Cloudhorizon 2 shoes weigh approximately 292.0 grams per shoe (based on a UK size 8.5).
Do these shoes come in other colors?
While this guide focuses on the Pearl/Fog colorway, ON Running often releases shoes in multiple color options. Please check with your retailer for available color variants.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure you have selected the correct size. The design offers a secure fit, but if it's uncomfortably tight, consider trying a half size up. Loosen the laces significantly before putting them on and re-lace for optimal fit.
Traction is reduced on wet surfaces
While Missiongrip™ offers excellent traction, extreme wet conditions can challenge any outsole. Ensure the outsole is free from mud or debris. For very slick conditions, consider slower, more deliberate steps.
Slight discomfort after initial wear
New hiking shoes may require a short break-in period. Wear them for shorter walks initially to allow them to mold to your feet. Adjust lacing as needed.
Breathability seems limited
Ensure the upper layers are not obstructed by dirt or debris. If experiencing excessive heat, consider using thinner, moisture-wicking socks.
